Obama camp blasts McCain's judgment

From NBC/NJ's Athena Jones


Obama surrogates Susan Rice and Richard Clarke held a conference call this afternoon to talk about recent remarks by McCain about Obama's judgment and patriotism.

Rice, Obama's senior foreign policy adviser, said it was McCain was practicing Karl Rove-style "do anything, say anything", "gutter" politics to hide what she called his bad policy judgment. She pointed to Sunday's New York Times article about McCain's early support for invading Iraq after 9/11.

Rice repeated Obama's argument that McCain had shown bad judgment in his approach to Iraq, Afghanistan, and Pakistan -- and said he had made "flip comments" about Iran, referring to his "bomb, bomb Iran" comments last year.

Clarke compared McCain to "extreme neo-conservative" policy types because of his early support for the Iraq war and suggested he was "reckless" and "trigger happy."

Full call at this link:

Rice says the Republican’s “tendency is to shoot first and to ask questions later,” saying he “cheerled Bush’s decision to take our eye off the ball and start a war in Iraq that had nothing to do with 9/11.”

Clarke joins in on slamming “quick-draw McCain,” calling him “reckless,” “trigger-happy” and “discredited.”

1. And McCain is now flogging the "I don't question his patriotism ...

I just question his judgement" line of bullshit. Sure, Grandpa, so when you stated that Senator Obama would "rather lose a war than lose an election" you certainly weren't questioning his patriotism, were you? Fuck off, Pops. You're either a senile old fart or a lying sack of shit. Either way, we can't afford you in the White House.
